Chapter 301: The cause for the betrothal.
When Mei Mei rushed into the Empress dowager’s sonar, her daughter’s loud voice was the first thing she heard.
"I will not marry him, he smells like a flower." Mingzhu shouted.
Mei Mei arrived just in time to see Mingzhu stomping her foot after sharing her reason for rejecting the marriage. She stopped short and looked at her daughter in mild surprise.
Of all reasons that anyone had ever given to reject a marriage, it had to be the most unique one.
"I will not marry her, she is barbaric." Prince Long Wu Ping bellowed as deeply as his twelve year old voice would allow.
"You...you...." Mingzhu stomped her foot. "You smell like a flower."
Chi Lian covered her face with her right hands and moaned sadly. "Oh, she doesn’t know how to fight back with her mouth. No wonder she is always letting her fists do the talking for her."
The Empress dowager was sitting in a single chair near the window and she raised a brow. "Mingzhu darling, a man that smells wonderful is a good man. Hygiene is very important."
Mei Mei cleared her throat.
Mingzhu noticed her mother and run to her. "Mommy, mommy, I won’t marry. Tell the Empress dowager that I won’t marry the flower smelling prince."
Mei Mei took Mingzhu’s hand and she faced her parents before turning to the Empress Dowager. As etiquette demanded, she greeted her first. Then she followed up by greeting the other royals.
Junjie sent her an apologetic smile. He had also been pulled into this sudden betrothal declaration without prior knowledge
